I wouldn't mind getting out of the Midwest in January!
Awesome! Good Luck Kovas!!
I volunteered at this race last year, and I'm running it this year (with my 14-year-old, doing his first half). The start and finish are definitely scenic -- right along the ocean. The middle part is more urban. But it's a fun race!
This is just an hour away from where I live! Would love to join =)
Awesome! No harm in entering, right?
